So I got my old rig summerized early April, 1989 Penn Yan 212 that has been zero problem until last year. I had impeller go in April last year but when marina pulled outdrive, oil had leaked into bellows, so ended up telling them to replace everything as maintenance precaution. Including fixing power trim sending unit.
So marina started up and ran perfect. I launched, was trolling for about 25 min and , noticed temp climbing fast. So pulled lines, throttled up and temp went down so impeller again! So only one year on impeller which is really short. Then the up on power trim stopped working!!!
So ordered 2 kits to have extra for next spring. Going to take apart the power trim limit switch to see if there is grease in it which can happen and interfere.
34th season I have owned this boat so I keep it well maintained but I hope this is not indicator of its future! So I am now prob down for couple weeks until I get impeller replaced. Prime coho trolling and down for a while.
